CLOTH-GUIDE FOR SEWING-MACHINES.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROSA D. Srocnnn, a citizen of the United States,residing at Colorado City, in the county of El Paso and State ofColorado, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cloth-Guides forSewing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

his invention relates to guides and more particularly to cloth guidesfor sewing machines.

The object of the invention is to provide a guide which will insure aneven and umform seam in joining two pieces of cloth or in hemming and toprovide a device of this character which will be simple and efficientand which may be cheaply constructed.

A still further and more important object of the invention is to providea guide with means to prevent the cloth or fabric being sewed fromriding up on the guide and thereby making an uneven seam.

Further objects of the invention will appear as the following specificdescription is read in connection with the accompanying drawing whichforms a part of this applica tion, and in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device. Fig. 2 is a centrallongitudinal section.

Referring more particularly to the drawing 1 represents the cloth plateof the machine and 2 the guide which comprises a longitudinal arm 3 anda cross head 4 which is bent up on the arm and then downwardlySpecification of Letters Patent.

to form a guiding side 5 which is in a plane with the arm 3. The arm 3is provided with a slot 6 as is usual to receive the set screw 7 for adjustably mounting the guide upon the cloth plate.

The guiding side is provided with a longitudinal extension 8 which israised above the side as shown in Fig. 2 so as to permit the cloth topass under the same. This extension holds the cloth down upon the plateand prevents its riding up upon the guide and thereby avoids unevenseaming of the goods.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is A cloth guideconstructed of a single sheet of metal and comprising a slottedadjustable shank, an upwardly bowed head formed on the end of said shankand extending at right-angles thereto in opposite directions from theshank, said head having the edge of its guiding side in a plane with thebottom surface of the shank and a longitudinal extension struck up fromthe guiding side in the middle of the head and raised above the plane ofthe shank, said extension being longitudinally alined with the shank andadapted to prevent the cloth from riding up upon the head.

In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
